problems of bara bazar

- traffic
Road encroachment is one of the prime reasons for traffic jam and chaotic movement of traffic in Barobazaar.
There are no parking spaces on the roads whereas all roads are used for loading / unloading purpose.
- river erosion
One of the main causes of deterioration of the economic activities of the Barobazaar area is river erosion.
The main market area has been severely eroded during the last several years and these areas are still under the threat of erosion.
Many land with both permanent and temporary structures were destroyed because of high land erosion without any protection measures.
Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) can be an important actor in trying to solve this problem. They invest money under the name ‘Secondary Towns Integrated Flood Protection Project’.
